Tell separately in which situation (a orb), either it is scope creep and if it is then of what type?

Answer:

In a highway project, the Govt.is the customer; the construction of the highway was 190 which were thenextended to 5 km more. The government wants to increase the project scope. Itmeans the project manager now has to manage the construction of 195 km highway.

Insituation a:

In the situation of a, the resources and timeline has beenfixed but the scope of the highway increases with the size increases. Thedeliverable size of the highway was 190 km before, which was further extendedand the additional 5 km was added to the first project but the resources remainsfixed.

If there isn’t any increase in budget and schedule time, theproject team may flow away from the original goals or objectives, as the capacityof the project increases, the project manager needs more task for completingthe project in limited resources and limited timeline, which was designed forthe smaller project. Due to this the scope creep became effect in overflow ofthe project's original goals.

Forsituation b:

In situation b, the additional project is not bad for theproject manager because the government is providing extra funds for additionalconstruction and also provides extra time limit for completing the project. Sothe situation b is not scope creep because the government is providing morefunds to be issued and 8 week additional time for the construction.

Question 2:

How this additional construction will affectthe Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) of your project?

Answer:

The work breakdown structure ofany project is specially made for networking of the project. It contains allthe work associated with the project. It divides the whole work of the projectinto pieces, so that the project manager can better understand the project. TheWBS must be flexible, because the project’s requirements changes every time,and it must be able to use in every circumstances.

Work Breakdown Structure is not adescription of the process which will be following to perform the project, italso doesn’t address the schedule which define how and when the deliverableswill be produces, rather it is specifically limited to describe and detailingthe project’s outcome or scope.

The additional construction ofthe highway will slightly affect the Work breakdown structure because theproject manager will need to describe and make the detailed diagram forhandling the construction process. The changes may occur in the scope of theproject because of the additional construction but the project manager shouldclearly define the changes.
